Council support of amended HR 2853 and support PROPOSI-
Proposition 172. HR 2853 deals with contamination issues TION 172
in the San Gabriel Valley Water Basin and it attempts to
resolve inertia by establishing the Basin as a
demonstration project where parties can opt to
voluntarily participate in cleanup costs for a specified
share and in return, the EPA would issue to the party an
exemption from superfund liability. The goal would be
to get funding into the system so that cleanup can
begin. The bill should be amended to identify specific
consultation opportunities for local input and approval
of cleanup facilities. Proposition 172, the Public
Safety Sales Tax, is a temporary tax that is due to end
December 31, 1993. The City would benefit by 1/2 cent
sales tax or approximately $29,000 for the rest of the
fiscal year. It was recommended that Council support
the amended HR 2853 and Proposition 172.
It was moved and seconded to support HR 2853, if HR 2853 &
amended, support Proposition 172 and authorize the Mayor PROPOSI-
to communicate these positions to the appropriate TION 172
